If only it had been Sunday 22nd instead of Sunday 15th !!
We're ideally situated to get a metro to the start and not too far from the finish. Have not been able to put people up previously due to kids at home and needing the beds, but they have now left so have spare rooms.
BUT, we're just getting back from Cap on that day.
Really sorry we could not help you M1ssVery.

Wow, hello Vix !!

Just normal weather for those lucky enough to live on Tyneside.

Do you not think that the Egyptian people thought that once they had a revolution, got rid of Mubarak, then had a real election that the one they elected (Morsi) would actually do as he promised ? It came as a real shock to them that once in office he did not do what he had promised but totally different things.
However, we in the UK KNOW that in a real democracy you elect someone as PM or President then EXPECT him / her to break all their promises with 12 months or less !!
Our current and recent past Governments proving the point.

As regards our Avatar, Shel is still the same build, but the knickers have long since had it !! Too many up/down operations, exceeded the manufactures recommended maximum.
Good to see some of the oldies again.

Bumpkin, who is no longer on this site but knew Neil, sends his commiserations.
I can't believe it, that's really sad !! We knew Neil from loads of events in the NW and later on at various friends parties.
Every time we saw him Little Gem was there, they made a great couple. Can't remember that last time we saw Neil, must have been 18 months ago. We'd expected to see him at the SH 10 year do at Xtasia, know he had his name down, but he never made it.
R.I.P. Neil
In past discussions I have pulled Mids up over various "facts" which he has stated.
But in this discussion I support him 100% on his statements.

The UK should keep well away from any involvement in this !!

Like him or hate him, George Galloway has a fantastic delivery with words, possibly due to his Scottish accent ?
He might spout some garbage (not all the time tho, I'd say) but he certainly makes you listen.
Below is a link to him addressing the US Senate, he showed them that day !!
John
Totally agree Jed !!!

I thought the same myself.

Thanks for the replies, but none answered the specific question.
So I'll change it round a bit.
The question now is;
If UKIP promised a referendum on Capital Punishment as part of their manifesto would it make you more or less likely to vote for them ?
For me, it would make me more likely to vote for them, even tho I may vote against Capital Punishment, I'd like the chance to have my say.
John
After the terrible attack in London I wonder if UKIP would / could / should promise a referendum on bringing back the death penalty for terrorism and killing of police officers ?
If they did I suspect it would push them even higher in the polls. Doubt Lib-dems or Labour could say they would do the same thing, but would the Tories have to follow suit to stay in the race ?

As we're Geordies we know a good party when we see one !!!
As it's a bit of a trek for us to get to Xtasia, (if it were closer we'd be there every week)so we can't make it as often as we'd like. So, we had the Sat night at Xtasia, the pre-drinks on the Sunday afternoon and then the main party Sunday evening.
We knew it was going to be a great party as soon as we got to Xtasia, Fobs had everything sorted, we got name badges and the atmosphere in the club was jumping.
But is there something wrong with the clocks in West Bromwich? Both nights in Xtasia, time went much too fast !! First night we thought it was just past 12 and it was 2-40 am, then on Sunday we thought that it was 10-30 and it was midnight. Now that is an indicator of having too much fun.
So, big thanks to the organisers and to Xtasia for a wonderful weekend !!

Harry,
As if we didn't know you !! See you Sunday evening if not Sunday afternoon.

Dare I say that I found Bernard Manning very funny ?
John
Well, would one of the people who know this place suggest a time for meeting? And if the pub has different floors or areas narrow down a good area. As we don't know any of you, how would we spot you, short of asking everyone in the pub if they are swingers?
